The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 349 Consequences

“I didn’t mean to frLily. I... | didn’t do it on purpose...”

Elsa’s voice trembled as she tried to talk her way out of it.

Ivan let out a cold, humorless laugh and cut her off mid-sentence. “Didn't mean to frLily? You expect us to

believe Lily made you do it? Here's a tip—if you screw up, own it. Stop acting like you're the victim.”

His words were brutal. Blunt and offensive. And for someone as proud as Elsa, it felt like a slap across the face.

Her face flushed, and for a moment, it looked like she might pass out from humiliation.

John didn’t look much better. His expression had gone dark.

After helping Elsa to sit on the ground, he turned and looked down at her, his voice cold and sharp. “Elsa, what

you did was wrong. You went too far. You owe Lily an apology.”

“Apologize!”

“Say you're sorry!”

“You need to apologize!”

Voices broke out across the crowd, swelling louder with every second. The room was turning-everyone

demanding Elsa own up to what she’d done.

Elsa’s body trembled with rage. Her jaw clenched so hard, she could taste blood in her mouth.

She hated the thought of lowering herself in front of Lily. Not in front of all these people. But after tonight, the

damage was done. The outrage in the room was boiling over..

If she kept resisting, the public would turn on her completely. There'd be no coming back from it.

She couldn't stand the thought of losing everything because of Lily.

So, for the sake of salvaging what little she had left, she forced herself to swallow her pride. Just for now.

She closed her eyes for a beat, and when she opened them, a single tear slid down her cheek. But her posture

stayed rigid, her chin tilted high. “Lily, I'm sorry,” she said tightly, every word soaked in bitterness. “I made a

mistake tonight. | wasn’t thinking clearly. | truly regret what I did. | hope... | hope you can forgive me.”

“No,” Lily said calmly. “I don’t forgive you.”

Elsa had wanted to destroy her-drag her nthrough the mud and leave her with nothing. She didn’t just want

Lily broken-she wanted her to lose her baby. Lily wasn’t a pushover, and she definitely wasn’t a saint. A fake

apology wasn’t going to erase any of that.

She didn’t want anyone else falling for Elsa’s act either. Lily wasn’t about to forgive someone just because they

got backed into a corner and said the word “sorry.” She stood her ground. “I don’t believe for a second that you

‘weren't thinking clearly. You cut the theater's security. You brought Yulia and her people to help you pull this off.

This whole thing was planned. And this so-called regret? It's fake. You're just trying to win sympathy and clean

up your image, not because you actually think what you did was wrong.”

“She's right!” someone in the crowd shouted.

Lily’s supporters spoke up immediately..

“Why should a simple apology crase what she did?”

“She tried to ruin Lily-why should she be forgiven?”

“Exactly. We'll never forgive someone who deliberately sets out to hurt others.”

“Keep her canceled! For good!”

The wave of support crashed down hard.

Elsa trembled harder now.

She'd thought lowering her head-swallowing her pride-would earn her sympathy. Forgiveness.

Instead, these idiots were siding with Lily. Lily had them completely wrapped around her finger.

She'd already apologized. What else did they want?

cold.

That's when James's voice rang out again-calm, but ice “You should've apologized to Lily. But you're right-you

don’t deserve her forgiveness.” He stared her down without a shred of warmth. “And since you've admitted what

you did, it’s tto face the conséquences. Lily and her co-star were both injured tonight. The stage is trashed.

The performance is canceled.” His tone didn’t waver. “Here's what you're going to do: every person who bought

a ticket gets double their money back. Anyone who traveled-you’'re covering their flights and hotels. You'll pay

for the medical bills. And for everything you put them. through.”

Elsa’s hands curled into fists.

The theater seated nearly 300 people. Ticket prices ranged from 30 to 100 dollars. And every single seat. had

sold out.

Just the double refunds would cost her at least 250,000 dollars.

The worst part? She didn’t have that kind of money.

Most of her cash had gone to Yulia earlier that day to pull off this plan.

So now what? No way she could afford to pay that bill.

He couldn’t stand to see her like this.

“James,” he said quietly. “I'll cover the cost. You don’t have to push Lizzy this hard.”

“You're unbelievable.” Dennis didn’t wait for an answer. He marched straight over and kicked Simon hard in the

side.
